odbc

Re: Check table wildcard syntax?

2003-07-29 Thread Matthew McNicol
no one is using the tables while you are running myisamchk. In MySQL Version 3.23 the easiest way to avoid this problem is to use CHECK TABLE instead of myisamchk to check tables. - Original Message - From: "Sigurd Urdahl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc:

Re: retrieving rows by insertion order

2003-08-01 Thread Matthew McNicol
You should use what you referred to as an insertion counter field. I'd call it a "id" field that uses auto_increment. It's very useful to use this and by definition it enables you to retrieve the data in the order that it was inserted. > - Original Message - > From: "Murad Nayal" <[EM

This isn't a complete answer but it may point you in the right direction... I had some experience of using localized text (most of the popular languages) in a database a couple of years ago. That was using Oracle but the lessons are the same. Initially Oracle was not UTF-8 enabled. Alot of text c

Yes, you can store HTML, Javascript, and Flash code in MySQL (since they are processed by the client web browser). And yes, you can store PHP code in MySQL, but since this has to be processed on the server side you need to use the eval() function to execute it once it is retrieved from the databa
